South Park Season 27 Release Date Revealed in New Topical Trailer

The boys are back in town, and by the boys, we're talking about the iconic quartet from South Park: Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman. The beloved animated series has officially announced its return for Season 27, and it seems our favorite Colorado crew is tackling the state of things in their trademark barely-coping style.

The show cleverly unveiled a new trailer that initially tricked fans into thinking they were getting a sneak peek at a new drama. With intense editing and dramatic music setting an ominous tone, the teaser took a humorous turn when Randy, Stan's dad, and his sister Shelley appeared on-screen. Randy's unexpected question about drugs, suggesting they could help Shelley, added a classic South Park twist. The scene, set against a Wicked movie poster, perfectly encapsulated the show's blend of satire and absurdity.

South Park Season 27 is set to premiere on Wednesday, July 9th, 2025. After the initial gag, the trailer shifts back to showcasing intense action and teases several significant and topical events for the new season. Expect to see major plane crashes, the toppling of the Statue of Liberty, a cameo from P. Diddy, and, of course, another conflict with Canada—a staple for longtime fans, especially those who remember the 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.

The teaser also confirmed that Season 27 will air on Comedy Central, marking over two years since the conclusion of Season 26. In the interim, the series has kept fans entertained with three specials: 2023's South Park: Joining the Panderverse and South Park (Not Suitable For Children), followed by 2024's South Park: The End of Obesity.

South Park reached its 25th anniversary in 2022, having debuted on Comedy Central in 1997 to near-instant acclaim. The show continues to push boundaries and tackle contemporary issues with its unique brand of humor and satire.
